New York: Prentice Hall,. 1986. Hard Cover. 0138102767 . 230 pges, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj, 'This is an extraordinary story of identical twin girls, June and Jennifer Gibbons, in a state of irreconciliable battle with themselves and the world. Now in their twenties, from early childhood they refused to speak to any adult. Instead, they developed an elaborate fantasy life that was based on dolls (represenations of themselves that they ritually loved and killed), diaries, poems, stories, novels and Bronte-like miniature books. They have written almost a million words recording every detail of their emotions - their passionate struggle for identity and their conflicting desires for escape form and union with each other. From their self-imposed isolation they ventured into sprees of drug-taking, sex and arson, for which they were ultimately sent to Broadmoore - Britain's notorious hospital for for the criminally insane. There they are still baffling psychiatrists.' . more information

From Professor Wenger's obituary posted on the website of University of California History: ""Gus" Wenger, as he preferred to be called, was born March 12, 1907 in Wheeling, West Virginia. Professor Wenger was a founder of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and one of the few people such as Roland C. Davis and Chester W. Darrow who helped lay the groundwork for a scientific basis for the discipline. He was elected to presidency of the Society in 1963-64 and in 1970 was presented with the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the Society. He was the Archivist of the Society for years and at the time of his death was active in writing the history and role of the Society. In 1951-52 he was recipient of a Fulbright Research Award and spent his sabbatical year at the University of Paris. In 1956-57 he joined forces with H. Kumar Bagchi of the University of Michigan on an expedition, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, to India to study the control of autonomic and central nervous functions of Yogi masters. In 1968-69 he was director of the University of California Abroad Study Program in Hong Kong." . more information

From the preface: "The object in producing this work is to present the subject in a concise and clear manner, yet make its scope sufficiently wide to include, in the main, all proper mental phenomena ~ Psychology is a science that should also show us the mind of man growing, striving, moved and moving, consciously and mysteriously working and ever fluctuating and varying, often even to a pathological extent - in short psychology should be the story and discussion of the Mental Man." . more information

New York: Ronald Press Company. Very Good. 1964. Third Edition. Hardcover. Viii, 456 pages, frontispiece (portrait) , cloth, very good. From the Wikipedia website: "Robert Sessions Woodworth (1869-1962) was an influential American academic psychologist of the first half of the twentieth century. His textbook Psychology: A study of mental life, which appeared first in 1921, went through many editions and was the first introduction to psychology for generations of undergraduate students. His 1938 textbook of Experimental Psychology was scarcely less influential, especially in the 1954 2nd edition, written with Harold H. Schlosberg. In the 1929 second edition of the earlier text, Woodworth introduced the expression Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) to describe his functionalist approach to psychology and to stress its difference from the strictly Stimulus-Response (S-R) approach of the behaviorists. During World War One, Woodworth created the Woodworth Personal Data Survey (WPDS) , which has been called the first personality test. The WPDS was designed to identify new recruits who were likely to suffer "shell shock" while fighting overseas. Although the test was designed too late for it to be used operationally, the test was highly influential in the development of later personality inventories. " 1320B; 456 pages . more information
